ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted during 2014- 15 and 2015 - 16 at College of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, Hyderabad to studies the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth parameters under southern Telangana. The experiment laid out RBD design with ten treatments including organic, inorganic and bio fertilizers were comprised with three replications. The results revealed that the application of T9 - 75% RDF + 10 kg VC + 100g Azotobacter +100g PSB plant-1 treatment gave higher values of growth characters viz., plant height (198.78 cm and 226.93 cm), trunk girth (51.20 cm and 53.77 cm), petiole length (52.09 cm and 53.77 cm), number of leaves per plant (45.38 cm and 48.31), earliness in initiation of flowering (135.44 days and 143.84 days) and lowest days taken to fruit maturity (196.11 days and 205.54 days) during both years of study. Hence, integrated nutrient management practices have been found to be an ideal option for improve growth characters and soil fertility.
Key words: Azotobacter, Growth parameters, INM, Papaya, PSB, RDF, Vermicompost.
